Yes, the Etag/Last-Modified are sent but after a long search I finally
understand what was going wrong. My web server is a Sun One Web Server
6.1, it sends the Cache-Control header only on HTTP/1.1 requests. Squid
only sends HTTP/1.0 requests to the web server so the Cache-Control header
was never sent even if your browser sends HTTP/1.1 requests to squid. I
had to force the webserver to send the Cache-Control header on each reply.
Now it works fine. It makes an ugly config file for Sun One but finally I
managed squid to cache authenticated documents and to check user access
for each request.

Thank you for your reply.

René
